I was the project champion to mange the convert from Genesys, legacy character based system written in unibasic to Plex Systems ERP. We had over 60 EDI trading partners that needed to be converted as well and this proved to quite a challenge for our vendor. We also transferred datafrom the legacy system into Plex which proved to be challenging since the data sets were not one to one.

I was challenged by the CEO that on Go Live that we should be able to order product, receive product, produce new product, ship and invoice product. He had heard stories where both vendors and clients had implemented new ERP systems and had product on the dock that they could not ship or were unable to order product from their vendors.

On Go Live we met the challenge. The first week was slow due to the fact we were using a new system and we had to make a few adjustments to some UCC labels but we were totally functional on Go Live and only got better after that.
